Additional Services

Private 1:1

In addition to our social skills groups, Confident Kid Club offers private 1:1 services for preschool children. Often children do not qualify for services in summer months or chose to spend another year in a pre-k program. Once a child ages out of CPSE, they are no longer eligible for SEIT support services through their school district. Our 1:1 services can be provided in your child’s education setting, camp, or home to address challenges and concerns related to, but not limited to, the following:

Cognitive Development

Language Development and Communication Skills

Social Skills Coaching

Social Emotional Development

Impulse Control, Anger Management, and Regulating Emotions

Behavior Management Strategies

Private 1:1 Basic Play Skills/Facilitated Playdates

At Confident Kid Club we recognize that some children are still developing the basic play skills necessary for participation in a social skills program. To better meet the needs of our children and families, we offer 1:1 play skills sessions which incorporates The Greenspan Floortime Approach along with sensory play and other play-based activities. Children will develop these foundation skills in a 1:1 setting with an experienced professional with the goal of being able to generalize skills in a group setting with peers. Teacher facilitated playdates to develop successful peer connections and cooperative play skills are also available.

Kindergarten Readiness Tutoring

Kindergarten has been shifting toward increased academics and higher expectations for young children over the past several years. While we firmly believe that the most important “readiness” skills children need are a solid foundation of social skills, we recognize the need to prepare children for the rigors of kindergarten. Through our 1:1 sessions we help children achieve the following kindergarten readiness skills with hands-on, play based games, activities, and children’s literature. We believe learning should be fun and strive to help children reduce school anxiety, develop confidence, resilience and, a love of learning.
